Code 128 Set Length 2
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Code 128 Length Control. Length 2 is the
maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if in Fixed Length
Mode. Length includes the barcode’s data characters only.
The length can be set from 1 to 80 characters. A setting of
0 specifies
to ignore this length (only
one fixed length).
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 1 to 80 — or 0
to ignore this length). Pad
the number with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20,
etc.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
